No true programmer would vibecode an app, eh?

  Oh no, they would. I would. I'd have the decency to know and tell people that it's a steaming pile of shit and that I have no idea how it works though, and would not have the shamelessness to sell a course on how to put out LLM vomit in public though. Engineering implies respect for your profession. Act like it.

  But invoking No True Scotsman would imply that the focus is on gatekeeping the profession of programming. I don’t think the above poster is really concerned with the prestige aspect of whether vibe bros should be considered true programmers. They’re more saying that if you’re a regular programmer worried about becoming obsolete, you shouldn’t be fooled by the bluster. Vibe bros’ output is not serious enough to endanger your job, so don’t fret.
